I widened the scope of my search slightly and found a response from you that suggested it was a server problem: <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.general/18422> I've been poking around in SourceForge's web front end to the repository, but that's a pain, since I have to search for the files manually. Is there a better way to get this package? (I'd wait for the servers to settle down, but without msmtp, I can't send mail from my machine, so there's a little time pressure involved.) > It may well be a server issue (there aren't multiple mirrors for CVS) > which is why we generally recommend using rsync selfupdates--they're of > course not infallible themselves. Right; I normally use rsync, but I don't want to switch my entire installation over to the unstable tree, so I don't have much choice. > Also, as a data point, could you please post the results of running > > which cvs > > and the version information from > > cvs --version > > ? It may even be something to do with the version of the cvs program. Sure: [Ridcully:~]$ which cvs cvs is hashed (/sw/bin/cvs) [Ridcully:~]$ where cvs cvs is /sw/bin/cvs cvs is /usr/bin/cvs [Ridcully:~]$ cvs --version Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.17 (client/server) Copyright (c) 1989-2004 Brian Berliner, david d `zoo' zuhn, Jeff Polk, and other authors CVS may be copied only under the terms of the GNU General Public License, a copy of which can be found with the CVS distribution kit. Specify the --help option for further information about CVS [Ridcully:~]$ /usr/bin/cvs --version Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.18 (client/server) Copyright (c) 1989-2004 Brian Berliner, david d `zoo' zuhn, Jeff Polk, and other authors CVS may be copied only under the terms of the GNU General Public License, a copy of which can be found with the CVS distribution kit. Specify the --help option for further information about CVS Trying with Apple's CVS (which is slightly newer) doesn't help. Running PATH=/usr/bin:$PATH sudo fink selfupdate-cvs produces the same results.
